“WSJ used to be a good paper...........now it’s not fit for kitty litter..........................”

After being under private ownership for 105 years the Bancroft family sold Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal for $5.6 billion in 2007. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, and many tabloid papers, was the buyer. The content of the WSJ is now a product of the Murdoch empire.

Apparently the Bancroft family heirs decided it was preferable to take the money and run instead of actually working to build on the legacy left by their ancestors.
